Gilbert Quotes

(speaking in 1929) "Unfortunately, or perhaps it is fortunate that I have always been forced to stand on my acting ability.

The thing is, the whole thing stems from Gilbert telling them not to put me in the game. I didn`t come to practice because I was going to be a distraction. I was going to slap ... him. I`ll admit it, what I did was wrong -- not showing up was wrong -- but I ain`t saying what I would`ve done if I showed up would`ve been right. Being that I didn`t show up I didn`t put my hands on nobody. How a teammate, a supposed friend, would go to a coach and tell him don`t put me in a game, I would`ve done something seriously wrong to him.

I`m one of the main guys to come across the middle, because I`m one of the bigger receivers. Now that he`s here, he helps, because it`s easier for me to come across too. It`s a lot easier knowing I don`t have to be the main person going across. It just makes us a complete team now, because we have the speed with Donnie (Gilbert) and Joe (Edouards) and us up the middle.
